This specification is for use by a contractor, concrete supplier, or other purchaser as part of the purchase document describing the material to be furnished.

Note 1: This specification is regarded as adequate to ensure satisfactory materials for most concrete. It is recognized that, for certain work or in certain regions, it may be either more or less restrictive than needed.
